The guitar is tuned E A D G B E from the low strings to the highest. You can also tune to D which would be lowering the bottom E string to D. There are more too.

What is a yotar?

A Yotar is a simplified guitar with only 4 notes, not 6 as in the standard guitar. It uses just E B G D notes. I have never used or seen one, but the book I have with information about it says you have to use a 12 string guitar and it appears you tune it with three strings each tuned to same note. The strings are of different gauge, so the high E would have a 20 gauge and a 9 or 10 gauge string for the next two. The E notes on the high strings would be in two octaves. The B notes would be on the next three strings and those would all be in the same octave and about the same gauge. The G notes on the next three strings would be over two octaves and use one 44 gauge string and two that are 23 to 26 gauge. The top three strings are all tuned to D and are again over two octaves and have two 32 gauge strings and one 13-16. The book says you need a 12 string guitar as the pressure is very great on the neck at concert pitch tuning, what ever that is. The Yotar is supposed to produce a very big sound and be good for sing a longs where maybe a normal guitar would not be loud enough.
